The remediation division of Anguil Environmental Systems (formerly known as Global Technologies) is focused on treating emissions and water contaminants extracted from below the earths` surface. Formed shortly after the 1990 Clean Air Act targeted emissions associated with the extraction of polluted compounds from contaminated sites, Global subsurface remediation equipment has been successfully applied on contaminated sites in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Anguil customers in the Semiconductor and Electronics industries include chip manufacturers, printed circuit board makers, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) manufacturers and probimer operations. Each of these processes have unique emission control challenges that all require a custom engineered system designed around the given process parameters. With Anguil`s product breadth our customers are ensured that the proper technology will be chosen.

From pill coating and mixing operations to Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization, Anguil has had great success solving a wide range of emission control applications in the pharmaceutical industry. As companies struggle to comply with the EPA`s MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) standards or international regulations, it is comforting to know that Anguil thoroughly understands your process. Over three decades of experience treating halogenated, VOC and HAP process streams enable us to efficiently solve your pollution control problems.

Ventilation Air Methane (VAM) is a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) released by coal or mineral mining operations, it is also commonly known as Coal Mine Methane (CMM). The air pollutants from this process have a global warming potential 21 times greater than carbon dioxide, which is another well known GHG. As alternative energy technologies have developed, methane is increasingly used to generate electricity and heat. Landfills and mines represent two of the most abundant sources, however reports indicate that more than 50% of all VAM is exhausted from mine ventilation systems and remains unutilized.

The severity of these contaminants requires the most advanced removal and treatment technologies. Macrotek has extensive experience in designing systems that will meet and exceed customers` requirements and regulations. In addition, the corrosive nature of these gases requires specific consideration for material selection.

We live in a power dependent world. Almost every human activity requires energy and many of them require large amounts of energy. For example, the production of metal from ore is one of the most energy-consuming productions available due to the high melting point of metal. Depending on the type of energy powering the production, a release of emissions of polluting particles will be inevitable without our technology. In addition come emissions from production as the power is used for.

Control of emissions is often required due to the hazardous nature of the contaminant. Often, control or removal is necessary due to offensive odours. Ammonia, sulfur and other related compounds fall in these categories. Macrotek offers many control technologies to capture ammonia and other odour causing contaminants. Reagents are often used to neutralize and stabilize the by-product.

Regulations around the globe are becoming more and more stringent for particulate emissions. Macrotek offers some of the most efficient wet and dry technologies to meet the latest EPA, EU, and MOE standards. Often, particulate collection is combined with acid gas removal. Our most advanced wet-dry system meets and exceeds the most stringent regulations for both hazardous gases and particulate.

Hydrogen Sulfide is lethal if released. Macrotek is a leader in developing advanced technologies for optimum removal and treatment. Our experience includes many installations using caustic, oxidizing reagents, catalytic and forced oxidation combination, and biofilters. Each application is unique and requires custom solutions.

The pharmaceutical industry worldwide is facing a major challenge. The productions of desired chemicals leaves an amount of by-products, some of them dangerous to both humans and the environment. An incinerator is usually used to deal with the challenge to reduce the volumes of hazardous substances. This process, however, creates sub-micron particles that conventional filter technology cannot handle. By using EnviBAT’s technology for gas cleaning – the best in the industry – such issues can be greatly reduced.

Specific industrial applications require wet end of pipe treatment for NOx or CO2. Macrotek offers absorbers utilizing various reagents for neutralization of NOx or CO2. NOx scrubbing is particularly suitable in situations where Nitric Acid can be utilized elsewhere in the plant, as it is a scrubbing product. As CO2 regulations become more stringent, methods for reducing emissions are continually being evaluated. Macrotek offers CO2 scrubbing technology which isolates CO2 in a contaminated stream to produce a pure CO2 product, making sequestration a more appealing option.

In the production of metals from ore or recycled products there are many processes where pollutants form. Smelters require high amount of energy and depending on the source of this energy and where production takes place, energy consumption can also contribute to the amount of pollution in your flue gas. In processes for metals, the metal should be purified from unwanted materials. It is inevitable that these materials as well as small amounts of the metals end up in the flue gas. Our technology is unique in its approach. It does not matter if your pollution is particulate matter, even if they are the smallest possible fraction of PM2.5, or if they are aerosols. Our patented technology handles them all. Because of the cost of production disruptions, the reliability and the high availability of our solutions provide benefits that further enhance the benefits of our technology solutions.

One of the oldest industry sectors, the construction materials industry has developed a broad range of products that is constantly adapting to the state of technology and architecture: Concrete, thermal and moisture protection, masonry, plastics, composite materials and finishes, are all used in the erection of buildings and structures, and also as auxiliary materials on construction sites.

Fire laboratories perform different types of tests and experiments to analyze the characteristics of products and materials , when exposed to fire. Using these data , manufacturers can improve their products, fire resistance, and their longevity. Although the fire is controlled in a laboratory, many toxic substances are formed and these must be removed before the air is released into the environment. EnviBATs technology is extremely effective for this type of application. It eliminates the particles of all sizes, which also has the advantage that it eliminates the burning smell.

Citto Activated Carbon 'Air Series' offers a range of standard, impregnated, and specialized activated carbon products for a wide spectrum of air purification applications.

Removal of ash particulate, tars, acid gases and ammonia from steam reformers, gasifiers, pyrolosis units and cooling of syngas streams to acceptable limits to enable use as a fuel source for power generation or as a feedstock for chemical products. For tar removal, combination technologies can be used including oil based scrubbing solutions to reduce waste water generation. Ethanol and yeast cell removal from fermenter off-gases. Methanol from processing operations. Hydrogen sulfide removal on landfill, digester and producer gases with regenerable chemistries. Odor control for biomass storage facilities including carbon monoxide removal in wood chip storage areas.

Microbes and bio-contaminants are pollutants such as bacteria, germs, and virus. All are small in size and usually microscopic, yet they have an amazing ability to do damage to all living organisms including plants and humans. When dealing with medical-grade and food products it is important to maintain the highest levels of sanitation possible. Many everyday illnesses are caused by viruses like the common cold or the flu. AgriAir purifiers will destroy 99.99% of airborne and surface bio-contamination helping to protect potentially vulnerable patients from dangerous microbes. In this new era of exponentially expanding plant pathogens affecting indoor crops, Hydroperoxide generators built into the AgriAir system are the answer to concerns that the airborne environment stays as sterile as possible. IHP technology destroys microbes, pathogens, and virus by changing their molecular structure and rendering them harmless.
